August 9 Update:

Spoiler

Important Announcement here.

Due to Thanks giving day(biggest holiday in Asia), some color adjustment on artwork (more bright tons and saturation etc) and remove title on the back (not front) raised from feedback of HDN ninja's opinion.

Last friday scanavo told Kimchidvd to delay the final shipment of product.
Estimated release date has to be changed as Middle of October or End of October.

due to cancellation of LGB order in Kimchi, Kimchi will re-open the pre-order for rest of quantity around 16th September or later day (it will be announced soon)

Please kindly understand the delay for adjusting steelbook looks even better and manufacturing issue in scanavo.

I will share the steelbook sample picture as soon as it arrive in Kimchi, might be around final week of September (Steelbook & lenticular)

Mod, Please update release date in OP

Thanks

Major update from Choi 7/13/2013: [Mod. Edit: PLEASE READ]

Today I officially announced the pre-order date & time for 2nd round
as I said before, Kimchi will fix pre-order date & time based on UK time zone.

London (United Kingdom - England) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 13:00:00 BST UTC+1 hour
Seoul (South Korea) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 21:00:00 KST UTC+9 hours
Vancouver (Canada - British Columbia) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 05:00:00 PDT UTC-7 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 08:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours
Paris (France) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 14:00:00 CEST UTC+2 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 12:00:00

-1x copy per slipcover (2x copies for slipcover was sold out too fast like 7 min, That's why kimchi put more restriction for quarter slip release)
-5x copies per lenticular

here is technical problem solved so far

after you pay via paypal, you will automatically return to main page of kimchidvd and you can go to order page to check if your order is completed.

(previous kimchi, does not provide automatic payment completed by paypal, only kimchi handle one by one to complete order by manually matched with paypal transaction. it's kind of big burden and many problem happened)

and another announcement for shipping

Small packet is removed, K-packet applied for all of item sold in kimchidvd
K-packet is slightly expensive than small packet but there is lots of benefits

- Printed slip with tracking number
- End-to-End tracking with delivery confirmation (No lost shipment)
- Reasonable cost than EMS
- generally takes 5-15 days (EMS: 5-10 days, Small packet 15 -35 days)

but some member are curious why kimchidvd changed shipping method

From T2 kimchi release, Kimchi handled more than 1,000 box to ship out to post office KR, this is a big volume of post office KR to handle only for one store.

so post office does not allow kimchi to accept small packet any more
and asked kimchi to change K-packet rather than small packet due to too many package in one or two day.

after changed of k-packet, pack & shipping process is much more faster than small packet and very reliable shipping method in terms of tracking.

even now, some of member did not received T2 kimchi after shipping process done at 26th June because no tracking available for small packet.

1 or 2 steelbook for shipping charge between small packet & k-packet is only difference around 2$

please kindly understand kr post office policy for massive volume of shipment like over 1,000 boxes and more powerful tracking for lost shipment protection.

Thanks

Update #2 7/10/2013 from Choi:

1x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

Last first batch was

2x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

 

[Bubbie]

Bet number 3 will be john rambo

Supposedly a new title (or one never released before) from what I understood from previous posts (read every single post in the T2 thread )

 

[Choi Chungkwon]

Number 3 is not re released steelbook,

It will be revealed soon, new released, never treated as steelbook

and It's from asia blu

Asia blu???
What do you mean, an asian film?

Anyway, great news Choi

Will the pre-order for this be live after #2 or near the same time just because else if it is around the same time it is around £80 for two films all at once which is a bit heavy

Thanks Choi

 

[Thisisnotsparta]

Hmm well if it's an Asian film, maybe something Bruce Lee related? Or has Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon been done yet? Love that movie! Or House of Flying Daggers. Got the dvd collectors edition xD

Yes, Asian film !

before announcement, Kimchi has to confirm many things
sooner or later it will be announced here same as Le Grand Bleu.

I asked slipcover to get it on my hands, but all of slipcover is in the warehouse, Today I asked again to get slipcover.

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Thanks Choi

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

Please be a Joh Woo film like "The Killer", "Hard Boiled", or "A Better Tomorrow"...

 

[irvine3008]

Hope it will be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or House of Flying Dagger .

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Maybe a Lone Wolf and Cub film

 

[Jango]

i hope for so many asian movies it's countless....but would love to know if it's Chinese, Japanese or Korean movie (or maybe something else?). anyway, it can't be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it already have the steel treatment.

 

[snooloui]

Hope it will be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or House of Flying Dagger .

Assuming this is a completely new title never released anywhere else in the World, it won't be CTHD because that already has a Steelbook.

Anyway, this is the wrong thread for this discussion.

Will someone be rocking out a group buy???

KimchiDVD already ships worldwide. Besides, if a gb were open it would cost more. (i.e. re-shipping, fees).

Though, I do think HDN members should have access to the first 1,000 copies.

Hey chipvideo

Check T2 thread for photoshot of slipcover

I think I know what the film is.
It's a guess, but I have strong hunch.

The newly released and remastered Enter the Dragon.
One of many iconic Bruce Lee films.

A GB was tought about for the first 500 copies, but because of the expensive shipping fees when redistributing, this didn't seem like a good idea.

P.S: it's not Enter the Dragon (or is it now? )

 

[Steve]

Would like to see Lincoln released as the new exclusive.

 

[stevo]

If the Kimchi exclusive suggestion thread is to be believed, exclusive #3 should be either Dude, Wheres my Car? or Freddie got Fingered. These 2 movies are clearly in the lead in that suggestion thread. People have good taste, so my guess is the next exclusive is one of these 2. It only makes sense.
